He disconnected and rested his head in his hand, his elbow
propped on the desk between her legs.  “Delkin said to tell you hello.  He was
fascinated with you at the Met last season.”

No way did she trust herself to speak. 

Casually petting her, he added, “I love your pussy,
Natalia.  It’s always so hot, so creamy.  I’d have to say it’s my favorite
snack.”

She went up on her elbows and stared at him down the length
of her body.  He usually made her wait for her pleasure a long time. 

Getting hers first had her off-balance.  Sitting up fully,
she took his face in her hands and kissed her essence off his lips. 

“I was supposed to make
you
feel better…not the other
way around.”

Suddenly she was scooped off the desk and straddled his
lap.  His mouth ate at hers with his fingers fisted in her hair. 

Against her lips, he murmured, “You make me feel better by
breathing
.”

One skip and her heart resumed.  Putting that in a little
box and locking it tight, she returned to kissing him.  He was iron-hard
beneath his expensive slacks and she gyrated her hips up then down the length. 
His grip on her tightened.

“Take my cock out, Natalia.”

She reached between them and unbuckled his belt, loosened
the button, and lowered the zipper carefully.  Her fingertips brushed the tip
and he hissed through his teeth.  Natalia pulled him free of the boxer briefs
and held the throbbing shaft in her hands.  Her thumb slicked over the head,
spreading the pearl of pre-cum she found there.

“Put me in your pussy.”

Lifting slightly, she positioned him at the soaked entrance
and lowered until she’d taken him halfway.  At that point, he held her still. 

“Brace yourself.”  He reached down and locked the chair seat
from rocking.  She had enough time to inhale as he adjusted his hold on her
hips and slammed up into her body so hard she whimpered.  One hand held his
hair; the other gripped the leather back.

He powered into her pussy and she didn’t know she was
moaning his name softly until his mouth stopped the sound. 

Hudson stood and took her with him.  Her upper back met the cool
glass and he put his arms under her legs.  They were pushed back to her chest
as he held her shoulders.  Half of her body was suspended while he fucked her
harder than he ever had before. 

“More…”

“Natalia…” 

Before he could speak, express his worry for her, she met
his eyes and nodded.  He continued to pound her into his desk and she zoned
out, taking in every nuance of this experience with him. 

Sweat beaded the skin of his forehead.  His eyes were
focused on watching his cock disappear inside her.  His mouth was set in a firm
line as his nostrils flared with every breath. 

The tap of his dick against her womb with every stroke
echoed throughout her body and she felt the climax building too fast to stop
it.  She tightened around him.

He whispered, “Yes.  Fuck yes.  Let me know I’m not just
hurting
you.” 

Natalia didn’t think he realized he’d spoken aloud.  Then
she was coming and thought was beyond her ability.  He didn’t stop, didn’t
slow, just powered harder and faster into a pussy that needed what only
he
had ever been able to provide. 

The climax bled into another.  He slammed balls-deep and
went still.  His semen left the head of his cock hot and with incredible force. 

A thought drifted through her satiated brain that she had
only ever allowed Hudson to take her bare.  The trust he showed in return by
taking
her bare made her heart ache.  Hudson’s wealth was unbelievable.  Women had
tried to trap him before. 

If she were ever to become pregnant…

She slammed her mind shut against the thought and focused on
holding tight to the total body happiness her best friend caused. 

When the last of his come spurted into her womb, he exhaled roughly
and gathered her in his arms.  He collapsed in his chair, his hand cupping the
back of her skull. 

His heart pounded beneath her ear.  When she was confident
she could move, she sat up and lifted her body from his, slipping to the floor
between his feet. 

Assuming the submissive posture with her ass on her heels
that drove him crazy, she waited.  Their combined fluids dripped to the carpet
beneath her.

“Clean my cock.”

It was what she’d hoped for and she wasted no time in
lifting up on her knees and taking his half-hard dick in her mouth.  When he
was like this, she was able to take him to the root and she sucked their combined
slickness from him. 

“You like the taste of us.” 

It wasn’t a question but she moaned around him anyway.  She
was too busy enjoying the salty-sweetness they created together. 

For good measure, she held his cock in her fist and sucked
each of his balls.  They weren’t entirely soft and if she pushed, she knew she could
quickly drive him up again.

Hudson wasn’t abnormal in his appetites but he produced more
semen than any man she’d ever been with.  Part of her wondered if that might be
linked to his Alpha personality and then she didn’t care because he rocked
gently, fucking between her lips. 

“I like seeing your lips around me.  Seeing them stretch to
take me.  Watching you enjoy something so many women hate.”  He was hardening
again and he paused, touching the back of her throat.  “Your mouth is so
fucking hot.  It feels so good.”

He stopped with a small grunt and pulled back.  She released
him with a soft sucking sound. 

“Stand.”

She stood up and waited.  Her toes curled into the carpet
and he pulled her between his legs.  A taut pale pink nipple was sucked firmly
to the roof of his mouth and her hands drifted through his hair.  He pulled
back and stared at her face as he placed his palm on her mound. 

“I want to know our come is dripping from you while I take
you to lunch.  I want it to soak your panties.  To remind you.” 

“I couldn’t possibly forget time with you, Hudson.”

Pushing two fingers inside her, he gathered their come and
smeared it over her clit and through her folds.  When he sucked his fingers,
her breath caught.

“I see why you like it.” 

“You make me crazy.” 

He winked and the dimpled grin he gave her reminded her of
the boy she met so long ago.  “Get dressed and let’s have lunch.”  He stood and
kissed her cheeks, forehead, nose, and finally her lips.  “I feel much better. 
I’m so fucking grateful for you.”

The vague thought drifted over her brain again but was gone
instantly. 

Instead of trying to catch it, she smiled.  “I’m so fucking
grateful for you.  Especially when you give me mad orgasms then feed me.  I
want a steak.  A big one…and wine.” 

As she moved to go around him, she added cheekily, “Then you
can fuck my brains out again.”

He slapped her naked ass sharply and she moaned.  There was
no way to miss the hunger in his eyes and she hoped she’d always have a place
in this man’s world.  No one had cared so much, done so much, for her in all
her life.

“Later, I’ll take all the…licks…you want to give me.” 

“Dress or we won’t be
having
lunch, Natalia.”

Laughing, she went and did exactly as he bid.  Lunch
extended to a bit of shopping for wines and then a light dinner several hours
later. 

When he cuffed her to his bed and striped the back of her
body hot, she didn’t think the day could get any better.

Then he fucked her and proved her wrong.  She didn’t mind
even a little.

Chapter Seven

 

Gabriella ate lunch regularly with Riya and Tawny since they
both worked from home.  The three of them had a lot in common and the two best
friends could make her laugh until her sides hurt.

Many of their discussions centered on sex.  Brie was beyond
fascinated with the lives they led with their men.  Though she typically ended
up blushing furiously, Riya had no problem answering her questions and Tawny
could be downright slutty. 

It was wonderful.

She’d never had many girlfriends growing up.  Between
extracurricular activities such as student government and band, she hadn’t had
a lot of time during the school year.  On breaks, she and Izzy worked all the
time while their classmates played video games and took trips to the lake.

The range of their conversations was all over the map. 
Everything from food to travel to the best positions for a woman to achieve
orgasms – alone or with a partner. 

Sometimes their men would join them and Brie tried not to
stare at their interactions.  On a particular afternoon, the four husbands
returned from the gym as they were finishing up. 

There was an impromptu race/wrestling match as Zach and
Quinn tried to reach Tawny first.  Meanwhile, Max and Micah mock-battled over
Riya’s first kiss. 

Brie couldn’t have looked away if she tried. 

Riya laughed for several minutes.  “I know we’re ridiculous
but your eyes are positively
huge
.”

“Not because it’s ridiculous.  It’s nice.” 

She thought she covered her wistfulness and would have been
embarrassed to know how clearly the others could read her.  Tawny and Riya
shared a look as she started picking up their plates from lunch.

Tawny assumed a casual expression.  “Why don’t you come to
our club with us, Brie?  You would love it.  They’re doing a
huge
party
for Halloween!” 

Immediately, the image of Hudson’s lover came to mind. 
She’d overheard Riya talking to the woman a few days ago about the events at
the club and looked it up.  Natalia was listed as the manager.  Somehow, she
thought it was probably more than that. 

It was also none of her business.

Grinning at the pretty redhead, she replied, “So my
corruption is complete?  I think not.  I don’t need
one
man in my life
yet, much less
two
.  Besides, I’d probably make a fool of myself trying
to look everywhere at once.  Then end up talking to the bartender all night.  I
do that.”

Riya took the plates from her hands.  “If you don’t stop
trying to clean up, I’m going to put you in time out.”  Max and Micah went
around them.  Each man tugged Brie’s hair playfully.  “They know I’m serious. 
You are a
guest
…a
friend
over for lunch.  You do not clean up.” 

As Brie watched, they all cleared the table.  “But…I like to
help.”

Max gave her a wink.  “You help by keeping us company.  I
made cheesecake.” 

“Oh my god,
no
.  Not another cheesecake.”  The last
one Riya’s husband made was so decadent; she wanted to weep when she bit into
it.  “I’ll be a parade balloon if you don’t stop.  As it is, I watch what I eat
the whole day before I come for lunch.”

Tawny frowned.  “What the fuck for?  You’re gorgeous.  I’d
give anything to have your ass.” 

“Better in theory than in practice, I can assure you. 
Anyway, I have to get downstairs.  Lunch was fantastic.  Thank you so much.” 

The friends kissed her cheeks and she waved at their men as
she headed for the elevator. 

 

Riya stared at the closed elevator.  Tawny didn’t miss the
little frown between her eyes.  “Girl, I can smell the smoke…spill it.” 

“She’s
alone
too much.  I don’t like it and I’m sick
of her cleaning this building when I know she’d rather be doing the job she has
a degree for.”

“She filed formal charges about her money.  Her parents know
because the police sent subpoenas to their bank.  I was with her getting coffee
when they called.”  Tawny sighed.  “They asked her a million questions and wanted
to know how she could be so stupid.  I almost lost my shit.” 

“What did she tell them?” 

“Not much.  She kept saying stuff like
I know
or
you’re
right
and I wanted to shake her.  When she hung up, she started crying.  You
know I do
not
know how to handle tears without beating the shit out of
whoever caused it.  The cops aren’t getting anywhere, of course.”

Micah came up behind Riya and put his hands on her
shoulders.  “Listen, Hudson knows something about who took her money.”

Riya whirled on him.  “What do you mean?  He doesn’t need
her money.”

“No, he didn’t take it but he knows who conned her.”

“Why would he keep that information to himself?”

“The day we met Brie, Hudson showed up later at
Trois
,
remember?”  The women nodded.  “I found out the next day that he kicked his
girlfriend out.  Had her packed up and moved out within hours of meeting Gabriella
in the lobby.”

Quinn put his hands on his hips.  “In cons like that, there
are usually a minimum of two people.  A man to get to them and a woman to
impersonate them.  Sounds like he found out his girlfriend was the latter.”

Zach frowned.  “If he threw her out, I wonder why he didn’t
go to the police.”

“Probably because that’s not the worst of it.”  Max came
downstairs with a file in his hand.  “Riya love, don’t be upset.”

“Upset about
what
, exactly?”

“We had Brie checked out within a couple of days of meeting
her.  We kept it to ourselves because she was honest and we agreed it was her
business to share details with you in her own time.”  He sighed heavily. 
“Unfortunately, I think we all need to be on the same page.  Just in case.” 

She took the file and walked to the dining table, flipping
through the contents.  Thirty seconds later, her eyes went wide. 

“Holy shit, she’s loaded.”  Then she mumbled, “There’s a
morality
clause on her trust fund?  What the fuck does that even
mean
?”  When she
reached the last page, she glanced at the others and whispered, “Oh god.  How
awful.”

Her men nodded.  Micah crossed his arms over his chest.  “We’re
keeping an eye on the situation.  That’s all we feel justified in doing at this
point.” 

“You’ll tell me if you find out anything else?  I can’t talk
to Brie about this.  It looks horrible.”  She glanced out the window and tapped
her finger on the file.  “I know you don’t particularly
like
Hudson but
something tells me he’s going to make this right for her.”

“I know the apartment he’s renting to her normally goes for
double what she pays.  He’s paying her salary through his real estate arm and
it’s a fair wage.  Not what she could be making in her field but he’s strangely
generous with people who work for him.”

Riya nodded.  “I don’t like that you kept this from me but I
understand
why
you did.”  Sitting back in the chair, she smiled.  “Cheesecake
would go a
long
way to making me feel better.”

The men laughed and walked into the kitchen.

Her friend wasn’t fooled in the slightest.  “Too easy.  What
the fuck are you up to?”

“Now, I’m going to stir some things up and see what
happens.”  She stared at Tawny.  “She’s getting her fucking money back, first
of all.  There’s a good chance she’ll never see her trust fund. 
Morality
clause
…seriously?  Then we’re going to make sure she gets her
happily-ever-after.  Those are the first two tasks on my to-do list.”

“I love shit-stirring.  Sign me up.”

The men joined them with coffee and cheesecake while Riya’s
mind played quietly with her new knowledge. 

How she loved to fix things.

 

Three weeks later, Gabriella was expected to return home for
Thanksgiving. 

When she calmly explained, once again, that employees who’d been
working at her job for years had scheduled the time off months in advance, her
mother hung up on her.

The next evening, she opened the front door of her building
to find her parents and Izzy standing in the entry with Camille.  She was
shocked as the three of them surrounded her. 

“If our girl cannot come to
us
for Thanksgiving, we
come to
her
.” 

They spent three days in the city, sightseeing while Brie
was at work.  They made enough food to fill her freezer, bought gadgets for her
apartment that she didn’t need, and generally staged a full invasion of her
peaceful space. 

She and Izzy slept in the living room and her parents slept
in her bed at her insistence. 

Gabriella loved her family very much.  Having them in her
home had her off-balance and a little irritable.  Izzy grinned over her coffee
cup when they managed to go out alone for the first time. 

“Hang in there.  It’s almost over.”

“I feel…I don’t know…like I can’t do anything right.”

“That’s your insecurity talking.  You do so
many
things right, Brie.  Take a deep breath and stop expecting them to change. 
They’re old and set in their ways.  Just be you and they’ll learn to deal or
they won’t.”  Brie’s eyes went huge. 

“You wouldn’t be the first child to put distance in place
with overwhelming parents.”

For the longest time, Brie stared at her sister as if seeing
her for the first time.  “You…don’t care, do you?  How they are?”

“No, I don’t.  I knew when I was fourteen that I’d likely
never see my inheritance.  Their idea of morality is
far
different from
mine.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean…I’m not perfect but I live the life that’s best for
me.  I make no apologies for that.  You shouldn’t either.”

“I want to be like that.”

“You can.  Stop giving them so much power.  They’re just
people.  No more, no less.”

They took their time and when they walked up the steps of
her brownstone, Izzy touched her arm to stop her.  “Brie, I’m really proud of
how you handled a situation that would have crippled other people.  You look
great and I like the life you’re making for yourself here.”

Tears were unavoidable.  She’d always looked up to her
sister.  “Thanks.”

“Stop being a crybaby,” Izzy said with a grin.  “When they
act crazy, just breathe through it, nod, and smile.”  She shrugged.  “That’s
what I do.  It’s why they think I conform.  I smile then do what the fuck I
want because eventually,
my
happiness relies on
my
choices…not
theirs.”

Their conversation stayed with her through the rest of her
family’s visit.  It made her stronger.

Naturally,
men
were a common theme since they now
believed she was unable to distinguish the
good
ones from the
bad
ones.  Their mother started listing the
appropriate
men she knew who
would be
perfect
for Brie and Izzy smoothly changed the subject.

As frustrated as her parents could make her, she still cried
a little when she saw them off at the airport.  They boarded the plane for
Seattle a couple of hours before Izzy’s flight left for Chicago.  Their last
words were that she should lose a little weight and put her shoulders back. 

Gabriella smiled and nodded but didn’t reply.  When they
walked into the line for security, Izzy bumped her.  “See?  Better, right?”

“Better.”

They had lunch and made plans for Izzy to visit again
alone.  Only when her sister disappeared from view did Brie head back outside
and hail a cab. 

Her routine was calm and steady.  She didn’t hang out with
her co-workers but she grew close to Camille and a young woman who lived across
the hall with her grandparents.

She had to promise her mother to attend Mass so they would feel
comfortable staying in Washington for Christmas.  Inclement weather made
cross-country travel difficult for the holiday season and delays were
consistent. 

It was the first true holiday she’d ever spent alone but
Riya didn’t give her time to feel lonely.  When she wasn’t working or sleeping,
she helped plan her friend’s annual Christmas Eve bash. 

The night of the party, the penthouse was packed with dozens
of guests.  Most of her friends and family were staying in the short-term
residences on the second floor. 

Riya and Tawny insisted she have a sleepover the night
before so they could take their time with last minute details and enjoy getting
ready before the first guests arrived. 

She and Tawny finished wrapping gifts while they encouraged
Riya to relax and have a drink or three.  They laughed their asses off as she
attempted to make sense of nonsensical things. 

“I’ve never seen anyone get drunk so fast…and so
thoroughly,” Brie snickered.

“I love it.  Usually I record her idiocy and share it among
our mutual friends.  She’s so fucking perfect sometimes, I don’t have a
choice.”

“Tawny, that is just
mean
…clever, but mean.”

The redhead shrugged.  “It’s all part of my charm.”

Eventually, Tawny went in the hall and whistled for the
M’s.  They appeared in sleep pants and tank tops.  Micah’s brow arched. 
“Please tell me you didn’t record her like this…
again
.”

“Nah.  Everyone is still laughing from the last time when I
convinced her to try hoola-hooping while intoxicated and she broke every bottle
on your bar cart.”  She shook her head.  “You have to leave them wanting more,
dude.”

“I’m not even a little bit drunk.  Not even a
little
.” 

Max laughed as he scooped up a limp Riya from the guestroom
bed.  “I know, love.  You are completely sober.  How about you let me carry you
so you don’t fall down the stairs?”
